Chapter 36: The Bookshop

"See, where is the medical book?" Liu Qing'er asked in a low voice.

"There are too many books here, let's look for them one by one, and we haven't seen them for a while, don't worry, take a look again." Liu Yuanshan replied, but his eyes were staring at the books on the shelves, and he didn't miss a single one.

The children of the Liu family have been learning to read and write with the He family since they were children, although they are not as good as ordinary readers who can recite poems and write poems, but ordinary books can also be understood.

Du Danshen proposed to pick herbs for a living, they listened quite excited, after all, they are not very old, and they can't do other work, picking herbs for them, it is still a little easy, others are afraid of the dangers of the mountains and forests, but they have lived in the mountains and forests since they were children, and they are not afraid of these, if it were not for Liu Chenglin's accident, they would not feel that the mountains and forests are really dangerous.

With this idea, but no one knew the herbs, so he came up with such a method, looked at the herbs in the medical book in the bookstore, secretly wrote them down, and then went to the edge of the mountains and forests to pick herbs, so except for Liu Pan'er who was at home and did embroidery, the rest of the people were brought out by Liu Yuanshan.

The county seat is far away, they have short calves, Liu Yuanshan is not very happy to take them, so they came to the nearest town, but it is said to be the closest, but it is also a long time away, but this road is nothing for a few children, after all, they have practiced a few times with Liu Chenglin since childhood, people are young, and they have not learned home, but the effect of strengthening the body is obvious.

People in the world are respected by readers, even if it is a small town, there is a bookstore, said to be a bookstore, in fact, it is a small store, there are several shelves of books in it, the books are also messy, most of them are half-old and not new, mainly a mess, all the books are not placed in different categories, like a few books next to the book, there is a book of poetry, next to the book of poetry is a piano score, and then there is a drama text.

Looking at the owner of the bookstore, there is no meaning to classify these books at all, there are a lot of people in the shop, most of them are wearing long shirts, looking at the readers, they are several children, mixed with a group of adults, they are also very conspicuous.

I didn't see the bookstore owner, and I raised my eyes from time to time to glance a few times, for fear that they were coming to make trouble and destroy his books.

"What is the bookstore owner doing to look at us like this, why can't we afford to pay?" Liu Qing'er was very unhappy to be looked at by such eyes.

"Don't say it, let people hear it in a while, we're all children, it's good that people didn't kick us out directly." Du Danshen reminded in a low voice that he was too young, and it was normal for people to treat them as a whole.

"Salvia is right, don't talk, let's find it quickly, don't turn those books with your hands, otherwise the boss will turn his face." Liu Yuanshan also noticed the boss's expression.

It's also a shame that they are all in the rules as soon as they come in, otherwise I am afraid that they would have been kicked out long ago.

"Found it." Liu Yuanshan grew tall, his eyes were good, he looked for it one by one, and finally found a medical book, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the bookstore owner, and saw that he was talking to someone, so he immediately reached out and pulled out the medical book, and turned the page with his hand.

Quickly turned a few pages in a row, only a moment was a little dumbfounded, there is no illustration of herbs on this medical book, it is all black and dark words, he also knows a single child, only together, it is really obscure, he looks ignorant.

"No, there is no herb on it, what can we do?"

Liu Yuanshan and Liu Qing'er also leaned over to look, and then looked disappointed.

"Then let's find out again, if there is any herb collection!" Du Danshen hurriedly said.

When Liu Yuanshan heard this, he closed the medical book, put it back quickly, and then looked for it one by one.

After the bookstore owner finished talking to people, he looked back and saw that a few children were still looking at the rules and regulations, and had not moved their hands and feet, but they did not drive people, these children looked obviously literate, you must know that in these days, the family can be literate, must be some family members, they do business, pay attention to harmony as the precious, never easily offend people.

Seeing that people are young now, maybe they can get a name for themselves in the future.

A few people looked at the past one by one, there were no herbs, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and they were also worried that the bookstore in this town was too small, and there were no books they were looking for.

"I found it." Du Danshen's eyes lit up, and she immediately stretched out her hand, and a thick collection of herbs was taken by her hand, and her hand quickly turned a page.

Then I saw the herbs on it, and the rest of the people all leaned over to take a closer look.

"Hey, this ground grass seems to be a ground skin, you see?" Liu Qing'er pointed to a plant.

A few people took a look at it and immediately nodded: "That's right, I wrote it down, let's pick this in the future, and then see if there is anything familiar in the back?" Liu Yuanshan said softly.

Turning back the pages of the book, but after seven or eight pages, they found four or five plants that they were familiar with, after all, they lived on the edge of the mountains and forests, and in addition to trees and grasses, they were also very familiar with the surrounding plants.

Now I know that the grass that used to be very familiar is still a medicinal herb, and I am immediately excited.

"Hey, hey, don't flip around, move lightly, I tell you, the books in my bookstore are all expensive, don't break them." The bookstore owner said anxiously.

Readers are expensive, books are even more expensive, and they are easy to damage if they are not careful, and the price of these books is not cheap.

Seeing that a few people were a little stunned by his shouting, they hurriedly stepped forward to take the book back, and then they breathed a sigh of relief: "I said you can just come and take a look, but don't touch it, it's easy to get bad, you know?" ”

"Boss, how much does your book cost?" Du Danshen was robbed of the book, a little depressed, and asked.

"This book!" He couldn't help but look down, and saw that it was a collection of herbs, not the Four Books and Five Classics that readers love, this kind of was very rare, and he didn't understand why their children liked to read this, so he took a few closer looks, and said: "This book, fifteen taels of silver!" ”

One sentence suddenly made several people take a deep breath.

"Fifteen taels? Boss, don't you see that we are young, so you can bully us! ”

"No, you don't look at how thick this book is, after all, it wasn't cheap when I bought it back, but I couldn't sell it after buying it for so long, and I really lost a lot of money." The boss shook his head, and then said: "I don't think you can afford it, so don't come to make trouble, you won't have money to pay if you break it, let's go, let's go." ”
